Cant send or receive texts from non iphone users

For a day now i cant send or receive texts from non iphone users. even when i went to verizon for a separate issue the text they send to allow access didnt come through. I have reset MMS/SMS messages, updated software, restarted phone, reset apple id password, and all other suggested items and still nothing.


Any other ideas?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Do all of this, in this order

Settings, Messages, Turn off iMessage

Settings, Face Time, Turn off Face Time

Restart the phone.

Settings, Messages, Turn on iMessage, SMS, MMS

Settings, Messages, send & Receive, select your number which should now be there.

Settings, Face Time, Turn on Face Time
